`IULIA AVANSINO, OF PLEASANT VALLEY, CALIFORNIA.

DEVICE FOR MARKING PATTERNS.

To all whom it 'may concern.'

citizen of the United States, residing at Pleasant Valley, in the county of Eldorado and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Devices for Marking Patterns, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to devices employed by tailors and dress makers for marking patvternsupon cloths, and the object of the invention is to provide a device of this character having a knife edge adapted to be heated and drawn or pressed over the cloth so as to leave a distinct line and crease that will remain distinctly perceptible upon the cloth until the garment is finished.

To these ends the invention resides in the novel construction and combination of elements hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side eleva` tion of my invention. Fig. 2 is a similar View with the iron in adjusted position for operation, and Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the device.

It is the object of the present invention to provide a device whereby patterns may be marked upon goods and the lines so marked will remain perceptible until the goods are finished into a garment, and wherein chalk or other penciling devices tending to mar and discolor the goods traced are entirely dispensed with.

It is the main object of my invention to provide a device for marking patterns whereby a distinct crease is imparted to the goods marked, and in order to produce a crease upon goods without marring or destroying the goods I have found that this effect can only be obtained by providing an iron having a beveled edge and constructed of a heat retaining material. The iron so constructed is heated and while in this condition. applied upon the cloth and a perceptible and permanent crease imparted to the cloth by drawing the edges of the iron upon the cloth at the lines of the pattern.

In the contemplation of my device I have lprovided a creasing and marking device comprising a suitable wooden handle l having a shank 2, constructed of metal or any other desired material, and having its free ends bifurcated to provide the arms 3' and 4:. These arms 3 and 4 are provided with suitable per- Speccaton of Letters Patent.

ception ofA a pin or bolt 5 by which the iron 6 is pivotally connected between the arms.

The iron 6 is preferably constructed of copper, or it may be constructed of any other desirable heat retaining material, and is of an approximately V-shaped formation, and has two of its edges and apeX provided with the bevels 7 while its remaining edge is provided with a series of slots or openings 8, the purpose of which will hereinafter be eX- pl-ained. The pointed end of the iron 6 is rounded as at 9 and the purpose of this round ed portion is to adapt the device for tracing curves upon the goods creased, while the sides of the iron are adapted for tracing or creasing straight lines upon the goods.

Mounted upon the shank 2 of the device is lar 11 adapted to be contacted by a helical spring 12 mounted upon the shank 2 and having its free end engaged by a pintle 13 provided upon the shank 2. By this 'construction it will be noted that the collar 10 is normally pressed in an upward position by the spring 12 and the end of the collar forced into contact with the slots or openings 8 of the iron 6. The slots 8 of the iron are preferably three in number and the outer slots are positioned a distance from each other equaling the width of the collar 10, while the remaining slot is centrally positioned between the two other slots. By this arrangement it will be seen that when the iron is in the position shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings the collar 10 engages the two outer slots 8 of the iron, and when the iron is in operative position, as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings the edges of the collar 10 engage either the intermediate or one of the end slots of the iron.

vAs previously stated the iron 6 is heated before being applied to the goods to be marked, and in order that the device may be. heated by being applied to the flame of a lamp, I haveprovided my device with a pair of arms 14 pivotally secured to the shank 2 at a point near the connection of the shank and handle 1. The arms 14 are positioned diametrically opposite each other and when iron may be inserted within the chimney of a lamp and be effectively retained thereon while the iron is being heated.

From the above description it will be noted that I have provided a simple, cheap and eflicient means for imparting a mark or crease upon the patterns of goods, which may be easily and conveniently operated and in which the blade or iron-may be adjusted to desired angles to suit the user.

Having thus fully described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

l. A device for marking patterns on goods comprising a handle and a V-shaped iron having beveled edges pivoted to the handle.

2. A device for marking patterns on goods comprising a handle and a V-shaped iron having beveled edges upon two of its sides and apex and serrations upon its remaining side, pivoted to the handle, and a spring pressed collar upon the handle adapted to engage with the serrations of the iron;

3. In a device of the character described, a handle having pivoted arms, and a spring pressed collar, a V-shaped iron having bevels upon two of its edges and apex and the remaining edge being provided with a series of serrations pivoted to the handle, the spring pressed collar upon the handle being adapted to engage the serrations of the iron, and the pivoted arms of the handle being adapted to support the device over a frame whereby the iron is heated.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two-witnesses.

JULIA AVANSINO.
